Ahead of Watford’s fixture against Manchester City tomorrow, Mazzarri was rather open in his final press conference as manager;

“For someone that always wants more, I always have the image in my head of when we were seventh and we beat Everton, I would like to have that squad for the rest of the season and then I think we would have been able to do greater things this year.”

“Never in my career have I had so many injuries in one season. There were some games I did not even know who to put on the pitch. But, honestly, I don’t have any regrets.”
